Cybermen!

I was out at panloaf's birthday so I'm a bit late putting up by Rise of the Cybermen thoughts:

( Spoilers, Trigger, Mickey )

I appear to have written over 1000 words about a Cyberman episode without mentioning them. Hm. I liked them. Chunky, weren't they? And like skulls. Cool voice. Reserving full judgement till next week. All in all a 7/10 from me.

(no subject)

I am reading up on all the bewildering looms novel-canon stuff on this page, and found this:

A loom consists of millions of fine cords which weave matter and biodata together. For several days spirals of data flow down these cords and are woven into a mesh. From this mesh a Gallifreyan Childe is formed.

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

From the colour coding I'm guessing this is either from the Faction Paradox spinoff or completely made up? 'Childe' sets my teeth on edge in Buffyverse fic let alone it invading DW as well...

Also, this bit is marked as telly canon, though I can't remember it: Gallifreyans are not considered full adults untill they are 200 years old

So Romana's a child? Erm, that's just a bit dodgy...
